Global Sustainable Development Report
GSDR 2019
• Strengthen the science-policy interface to support policymakers in
promoting poverty eradication and sustainable development
• Incorporate scientific evidence in a multidisciplinary manner—natural
sciences and social sciences—considering all three dimensions of sustainable
development
• Support the implementation of the 2030 Agenda, keeping in mind its
universal and integrated nature
• Consider regional dimensions and diversity, as well as countries in special
situations
Much good still exists and for many things
humanity has made great progress…

Many countries have made their

Social turning points:
poverty and inequality

Environmental turning points: climate
change and biodiversity

Systems thinking : Synergies and Trade-offs
among SDGs

Coding:
• 62 Global Reports and
scientific assessments
• 110 scientific papers with explicit
mention of SDG interactions
General pattern:
• 2080 interactions positively
or negatively assessed at
target level
• 85 % positive interactions
• 14 % negative interactionsSystems thinking: SDG interactions
by flows across boundaries

Science & technologyGovernance and social capital as
means of transformation
• Bi-and multilateral and transboundary flow-based
governance
• Shared responsibilities: public, business, people
• National governance for effective implementation
of SDGs
• Mainstreaming in policy framework, policy coherence,
leadership
• Local action towards sustainable development
• Experimentation & local innovation -> evaluation ->

policy uptake for dispersion
• Individual capacities in enhancing sustainable
development
• Early age education for sd, links to social practices, group
behaviourEconomy as means of
transformation
@SYKE
Economy is not an aim but an effective tool
Mainstreaming sustainable development to all economic activities
SD teaching into economy studies
Circular economy, Public investments, Incentives for experimentation
Trickle-down theory is a myth (unprecdented concentration of world’s
wealth in the Top 10%)
Undisputable evidence (IMF, OECD, WB, World Inequality report)
that reducing intra-country inequality is not simply a question of
fairness but a prerequisite :
- For long-term eradication of poverty
- For sustainable economic growthBusiness & financing:
means for transformation
FINANCING FOR TRANSFORMATION
➢ ODA can at the most have a leverage effect
➢ There is a massive need for reallocation of both public and private
investment (sustainable inclusive finance).
Estimated yearly investment need for SDGs implementation (UNDP) = 2500 billions US $
BUSINESS FOR TRANSFORMATION
➢ Business ecosystems taking ownership of sustainable development
➢ Business models : sharing economy, circular economy, longevity
➢ New concepts of work: social innovations and green jobsScience & technology: implementation
of SDGs requires sustainability science
SYSTEMS APPROACH, MEANS FOR
ANALYSING:
• complex causal chains
• interactions between SDGs
• path dependencies and alternative
futures
LEARNING THROUGH RISKS:
• experimenting and analysing
experiments

Diverse Pathways to transformation interweaving different means

development: example on food systems
Example levers for pathways on food systems:
GOVERNANCE TRANSITION TECHNOLOGY TRANSITION BEHAVIOURAL TRANSITION
• Greater transparency within • Increased use of digital • Enabling distributors and
food supply chains through farming systems and consumers to reduce
improved certification improved access to food waste
processes and labels for information
sustainable food productionEU from the GSDR2019 view The most serious sustainability deficit for European welfare is its ecological debt, - caused by consumption and production patterns – impacts being externalised to other parts of the world
EU from the GSDR2019 view EU to showcase ambitious vision and concretism of SDG implementation for other parts of the world: the UN • Institutional coherence and buy in • Policy coherence and buy in • Countries´coherence and buy in

• Complex but balanced effects on SDGs
• Benefit on climate-related SDGs

-
co-creation between science, policy, finance, insurance and industry
”Most risk management choices have costs that will appear as countering other
goals: dealing with risks is about addressing trade-offs.” said Anders Branth
Pedersen from PEER partner DCE Aarhus University. This is where the sustainable
development paradigm comes in handy. It requires that risks are not considered in
isolation.
